Clearing blocked drains

Blocked drains are an issue most homes encounter at some stage. There are many causes of a blocked drain such as foreign objects, hairballs, fatty build up and tree root intrusion. Depending on the cause of the blockage, the extent and the positioning of the block an experienced plumber can use several different options for clearing blocked drains such as:

a sewer jetter or drain jetter - a device which uses high-pressure water to clear the drain blockage.

a plumbing snake or electric eel - a long coiled metal wire which is fed down the drain and either breaks up the block allowing it to be flushed along or removes it by working it's way into the clog and drawing it out as the wire is pulled out.

a robotic cutter - if the object blocking the pipe is hard and stuck fast our team can use a specially designed cutter which passes along the drain and cuts away the block, clearing the drain. This is especially useful for tree roots.

Schedule a routine drain cleaning service

Fallon Solutions master plumbers recommend including a routine drain cleaning service in your yearly maintenance schedule. This is especially important if your home or business is reliant on healthy drains. For instance, a hotel, nursing home, hospital or child care centre needs to be vigilant in maintaining drains and good drainage.

As well as drain cleaning we can carry out a plumbing inspection with a CCTV drain camera to ensure there no other issues in your drain system such as cracked or broken drains.

The link between the PCA and the WaterMark Scheme

Oct 09, 2018

Our plumbing team, as are the whole of the plumbing industry in Australia, are guided by the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA). The PCA, among other things,
states which products are certified and authorised to be used in the plumbing systems of your home or business. This ensures that the components of
your plumbing system are suitable for the job they’re installed to do.

The WaterMark Schedule of Products lists all the relevant plumbing and drainage products that are authorised for use in Australia. Some products are exempt
from certification, however, most are listed.

Are your plumbing components certified?

Wondering if the parts your plumber just installed are up to scratch and compliant?

Each certified product carries the WaterMark logo as well as it’s WaterMark licence number and is listed on the WaterMark product database which can be
accessed by anyone here - abcb.gov.au

The WaterMark Certification Scheme was set up in 1988 to ensure the products used in plumbing work and building were to a standard and the right part for
the job needed to ensure they’ll stand the test of time and do what they’re needed to do.

Can you imagine one or more components of your plumbing system failing? What a mess!

Fallon Plumbing

All parts can be verified through the WaterMark database.

Never risk an unlicenced electrician

Sep 06, 2018

With Electricity Safety Week approaching the tragic death of a young NSW carpenter earlier this year brings the dangers of using unlicensed electricians
into the spotlight.

The terrible electrical accident occurred while the carpenter was working in the roof of a Sydney home thought to have been fitted with legal wiring which
connected the house directly to the mains power system, bypassing the electricity meter, switchboard, and safety switches.

Unfortunately, this was the second incident NSW emergency services had to attend to in the last few months which was believed to be linked to illegal unlicensed
electricians. A few months ago fire crews responded to a house fire which was found to be caused by faulty electrical work.

Dangers of shonky electrical work

Shonky, unlicensed electrical work can put everyone in your home or busines at risk of an electrical accident. The hazard extends to any tradesperson who
needs to work on any part of your home, at any time in the future. Faulty electrical practices, such as connecting to the power grid illegally, could
cause an accident tomorrow or next year. It's just a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

How to ensure your electrician is licenced?

Authorities encourage consumers to ask every tradesperson who works on or around their home or business for a current licence.

WorkSafe Queensland has a license search function on their website which allows customers to check the licence of their electrician.
worksafe.qld.gov.au

A Queensland Electrical Licence will look like this (different categories - different coloured licences. More information on worksafe.qld.gov.au). Ensure
you check the expiry date of your electrician's licence as well to make sure it's current.

If an electrician, or any tradesperson for that matter, make excuses about why they can't show you their licence, don't use them. It's not worth the risk.

Electrical Safety Week

Electrical Safety Week, which runs from 10 to 14 September 2018, promotes the importance of electrical safety for homes and workplaces across Queensland.
